"So, he fucked you so hard you passed out and then left like he was never even there to begin with... did he have anything else to say?"
Xenovia was working on her current failure, trying to figure out where she had gone wrong with it. Asia was venting to her, not her frustrations, but instead her joys. The woman had gone awhile without seeing her boyfriend, and when she did see him, he took her breath away. He showed her a sexual passion that he had never shown her before.
"I never knew how much he held back with me... this was a different side to him." Asia was sitting on Xenovia's check up table, normally used for her baby monsters. She still had a dreamy look to her face. Asia had a goofy smile, a smile that hadn't gone away since Zeus reminded her of what happened when she woke up, and she remembered it clearly.
She remembered every single detail of that night.
"Well, yeah, we don't always see every side to our loved ones." Xenovia had a color wheel in her hands with many different shades of blue on it, and she compared it to a potion that she had made. She was working hard to see which color the potion truly was, down to the smallest of differences.
"What do you think caused it?" Asia asked.
She was curious.
"... Seriously..." Xenovia couldn't believe that Asia couldn't see what was so obvious. "... are you seriously asking that... like seriously?" Xenovia asked again just to be sure that Asia didn't need mental help. It was obvious to her why Naruto had stopped holding back for that night.
"Huh... is it obvious?" Asia didn't get it.
Xenovia set her equipment down.
"Because, you offered Naruto a challenge. You've been more sexual lately... and not to mention the fact that you found yourself a little snake toy." Xenovia knew about that situation. "You found a lover who was better than Naruto, and Naruto is not going to back down from that." Xenovia stated the difference between Asia several months previously, and the Asia of today.
Asia had been fucked by the Hypnia so well that she actually went back for more, of her own lewd will. If Asia didn't think Naruto remembered that, then she was a fool.
"Huh!?" Asia was shocked.
Xenovia stared at her.
"... You really didn't realize. You gave Naruto a reason to actually try, so he actually tried with you. You think Naruto even considered those men who gangbanged you a threat to him... hell no." Xenovia sat next to Asia and poked her boobs.
"He didn't?"
"No, you think Naruto would care how many regular guys you sleep with... because he knows for a fact he's better than them. Since you fucked the Hypnia, I bet Naruto has been excited to test himself." Xenovia couldn't see it as anything else but Naruto's spirit of rivalry being flaired up long before he went to the bar.
"So... because I..."
"Yep."
-Later-
"Duh... Naruto is a freak when it comes to rivals. Naruto makes monsters to compete with him, and when he finds one better than him he makes it a point to surpass the monster... it is an endless cycle." Ravel explained as she went about signing every single paycheck for all of the park employees who needed their weekly pay. It was her duty to sign off on all expenses, and this was just one of her weekly duties that she had to do.
Asia had gotten a taste of when Naruto felt the desire to prove himself.
Now she was questioning things.
"So... should I try and... open myself up more?"
"You can do what you want to do." Ravel had that as her response. "You're his girlfriend, if you want to make him shower you with his best efforts, that is on you." Ravel didn't see a problem with any of it. Asia was conflicted, since she had seen the fruits of her efforts play out.
She had cheated.
She had actually had genuine cheating sex, and she got rewarded for it in getting even better sex than the cheating sex from her boyfriend. It went against her moral compass, but it had to feel good for her. She had gotten showered with Naruto's best, his very best, efforts in pleasing her. She had felt the difference between Naruto treating her like a tender lover, and when he treated her like a slut.
Asia found out which one she liked more, and she was very conflicted over that.
That was where her problem was.
She had been treated like a slut before by monsters and regular people, but she had just gotten her first taste of her lover, her REAL lover treating her like that had been a pretty big shock to her system.
"I enjoyed it..."
"Yep, you absolutely did. So, want to ask the question that is actually on your mind, because I have appointments after this." Ravel didn't have a ton of time to talk with Asia. "... Let me guess Should I keep doing this?"
...
"Should I?" Asia asked Ravel, since if she kept doing this, then Naruto would keep giving her his best effort. If she kept testing monsters, if she kept opening herself up to pleasure, then Naruto would keep up his urge to improve himself. Ravel opened up her desk drawer, and she pulled out a bubbling red potion. She passed it towards to Asia, who picked it up and looked at it. "... What is this?"
"A gift from Naruto with a choice. If you drink it, no matter how much sex you have, that potion makes it so that you will only ever feel romantic love towards Naruto. He gave it to me on the off chance that you were wanted to cheat, but you were afraid that you would fall for somebody else." Ravel stated as she showed the potion.
Naruto knew Asia too well.
"I don't want to cheat... I'm not..." Asia's words stopped in her throat when she was confronted with the potion. She looked at the potion that would strength her bond with Naruto, and limit her on only feeling romantic love with him. It was a potion that would make it so that she would never fall for any partner she slept with other than Naruto.
It was an out.
She could have whatever sex she wanted to have, she could have sex with some monster that was better at sex than Naruto, but she would only ever be "in love" with Naruto. She had never felt her feelings for Naruto get challenged, even when she had sex and enjoyed sex with the Hypnia more than Naruto. Not even when she found a better lover did she feel her love get challenged.
Asia gulped.
'... but... the thought was always in the back of my mind... What if my feelings change... what if this is the sex that makes my feelings change... if I drink this potion, I can find monsters that challenge Naruto... and Naruto will keep improving himself.' Asia looked at the potion in her hands.
It had a lot of weight.
Drinking the potion was the ultimate confirmation of her fears, and drinking it was the ultimate acceptance of a path that she was still hesitant to walk down.
"... This is heavy."
"Yeah, I mean, it is literally an endless love potion. Once you drink it, you can never fall in love with anyone else. Naruto values choice, and he always wanted you to have the choice to follow your heart... so he gave me this potion and told me never to give it to you unless you fulfilled very specific conditions." Ravel knew the weight of love.
A hot and burning love that could never be surpassed. The potion would ensure that Asia could never fall for another person in a romantic way. That was a heavy weight, because it robbed a person of their ability to fall in love with somebody else.
"Huh?"
"Huh?" Ravel repeated when Asia seemed confused by her statement. "... Wait... what weight are you talking about?" Ravel asked as she leaned forward, more interested.
"If I drink this potion... it means I'm making a choice. It means I'm choosing to become a bigger... s-slut for Naruto. I'm going to cheat more... I'm... I'm making a choice... I'm choosing to go... and actually search for a partner who pleases me more than my lover... It... I'm being selfish... drinking this potion..." Asia tried to explain it the best that she could. The weight she felt behind the potion and what drinking it really meant to her.
The inability to love others romantically was a non-issue for her, it actually made her feel better, safe and warm even. It was the meaning behind the need to take the potion in the first place that had some serious weight behind it.
Asia was making a selfish choice.
Drinking the potion would let her keep her love, and pursue physical pleasure with no chance of her being truly stolen from her love. She could have her cake and eat it too, because it took away a big fear that she had.
What if she found a monster that Naruto could not surpass.
Drinking this potion meant that no matter how good any partner she had was, she could never be stolen away from Naruto.
"I mean, be selfish if you want." Ravel, a devil, saw no issue with Asia making a selfish choice. She didn't see any weight behind wanting to do something that let you get everything you wanted.
"You won't try and talk me out of this?"
"Why would I... I really don't care. I'm going to remain a virgin, so none of you guys sexual stuff really matters to me. Cheat, don't cheat. Drink the potion, don't drink it... your choice."
"My choice." Asia looked at the potion in her hands. That just made the weight of the potion get twice as heavy to her, because if she drank it, it was her choice. Nobody was trying to talk her into drinking it, because nobody cared what she did. There was nobody that she could blame, and all of the weight of the choice fell on her shoulders.
She slowly uncorked the potion.
It smelled like Naruto, and reminded her of him.
"Ah... the smell of fresh paper and ink." Ravel smelled something different from the potion.
Asia smiled.
'... It smells like Naruto, because I love him... I don't need this potion to love him. No matter what I do, I will...' Asia felt her hands bring the potion to her lips. She drank the potion with red cheeks, and she didn't look Ravel in the eyes. "... I'll do it." Asia smiled as she spoke.
"Do what?" Ravel was not a mind reader.
"... I'll find better and better partners... I'll be selfish... I'll find partners better than even Naruto, and when I do... Naruto will... he will do his best to surpass them... he'll treat me like that again." Asia wanted to be treated like she was a piece of meat again. She had never felt more pleasure during sex with Naruto than when he did that.
She felt Naruto's passion when he had sex with her.
He had never been harder than then before, and he didn't treat her nearly as gently as he might otherwise. She wanted more of that.
"Wow, you actually drank it... how does it feel?"
"... I feel the same."
"Wow... that is boring." Ravel found that boring for multiple reasons, but the fact that Asia didn't feel ANY different meant that she genuinely had no romantic feelings for anyone but her partner. There was no conflict like her losing her feelings for other people, and her discovering anything like that. She had a pure love, so pure that even cheating didn't put a dent in her love.
It was boring to her.
-Later-
"Wow... that is amazing, so you REALLY did have a pure love... that is neat, and now your love will remain true. This is an amazing potion... only those who had pure conviction would ever drink this." Xenovia analyzed the potion bottle with a smile.
A potion that served purely as a test of your love, something that would steal your ability to find new love away from you. For somebody to choose to willingly drink something like that, and for somebody else to offer it, it was a show of trust and faith.
"... You're not mad at me for being selfish?"
"I don't really care though... I know Naruto. Honestly, the only reason you ever cheated in the first place was because you knew he liked it... the way I see it, this way you two get to enjoy sex in whatever way you want, and still love each other." Xenovia didn't see an issue, because she just had no reason to really care about it.
Asia made a choice.
Asia made the choice to walk down the path of pleasure.
